d4db4277ff manual: get rid of the lists of packages
We currently have four lists of packages in the manual:
  - the non-virtual target packages,
  - the virtual target packages,
  - the host packages,
  - the deprecated features.

Those list take more than half of the manual. They do not serve much
purpose except to show off.

After the recent discussion on the list [0], remove them all.

We can now get rid of our biggish and complex generating script (and its
companion library kconfiglib).

3c695928f5 doc/asciidoc: add possibility to define document dependencies
Currently, a document can not have dependencies, except for the purely
internal ones (like checking asciidoc version, and presence of dblatex).

For our own manual, this will come in handy when we introduce a
generated kconfig snippet, so we can actually make the manual depend on
that snippet being generated first.

For external documents, it can be used to depend on host-packages if
need be (e.g. a custom host packages that generates specific media files
included in the manual).

624dbec7e1 core/pkg-generic: allow packages to declare target-finalize hooks
Currently, packages using target finalize hooks must remember that they
need to register their hook in TARGET_FINALIZE_HOOKS
conditionally (otherwise their hook will be triggered even if the
package is disabled).

In order to avoid this potential mistake, this commit introduces a
per-package target-finalize hook variable, in which packages can
register their target-finalize hooks, with the guarantee that they will
only be triggered if the package is enabled.

2658b82353 Revert "core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules"
This reverts commit 84c825f8e8.

Turns out that the custom help is not available when the $(O) directory
has not been configure yet (i.e. when there is no .config already
filled).

Rather than trying to work around this limitation with dirty hacks, just
revert this feature. After all, this will not prevent an external.mk
from providing custom help anyway; it's just not gonna be advertised nor
displayed with the main help.

84c825f8e8 core: add the possibility to provide help for custom rules
When using a br2-external tree, it is possible (as stated in our manual)
to implement whatever arbitrary extra make rules (such as flashing a
board, or extracting the rootfs in an NFS export...). Some of those
extra rules might be exposed to the user as new entry points that the
user can call by itself.

However, there is no way for the br2-external to advertise those new
rules in the help text.

We add the possibility to do so, by adding a new make rule, called
help-custom, advertised in our own help info.

It is up to the br2-external tree to provide whatever help text is
deemed necessary. The format of the help is completely free-form.

Note that we need to provide an empty, dummy help-custom rule, since it
is always advertised (making it .PHONY does not work). Since this rule
is empty, make gently reports that there is "Nothing to be done for
`help-local'", which is pretty well fitting when help-local was not
provided (either because there's no br2-external tree, or when the
br2-external tree does not provide it.

8c5afd120e support/scripts: add size-stats-compare script
Leverage the CSV files produces by size-stats (make graph-size) to allow
for a comparison of rootfs size between two different buildroot
compilations.

The script takes the file-size CSV files of two compilations as input, and
produces a textual report of the differences per package.
Using the -d/--detail flag, the report will show the file size changes
instead of package size changes.
The -t/--threshold option allows to ignore file size differences smaller
or equal than the given threshold (in bytes).

Example output is:

Size difference per package (bytes), threshold = 0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       -8192         busybox

f1856bd0f5 docs/manual: do not override BR2_EXTERNAL
Currently, we forcibly override BR2_EXTERNAL when building the manual,
so as to avoid referring to packages therein from the manual.

However, when generating the lists of packages, we limit ourselves to
scanning for packages in (Buildroot's) TOPDIR and never search in
BR2_EXTERNAL. So, we do not really need to override BR2_EXTERNAL when
generating the manual to achieve the same result.

Furthermore, we're only looking for packages that are defined in the
sub-menu "Target packages", and never anywhere else, and especially not
in the sub-menu "User-provided options".

Finally, we're soon to completely eliminate use of BR2_EXTERNAL in
Kconfig altogether, so that would no longer have any impact anyway.

So, just leave BR2_EXTERNAL alone when generating the manual.

1e97b27873 ccache: support changing the output directory
When building in a different output directory than the original build,
there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases
there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an
option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths,
so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output).

Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made
optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the
usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option.

In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences
of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done
regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's
quite harmless.

c7bd65e1d4 docs/website: remove broken symlink for top-level manual
Recently, we've tried to have the manual lie at the top-level of the
site, to get a shorter URL.

However, that is broken: we do not need only a link the the HTML, but
also to the CSS and to any resource linked from the html (images...).

The server configuration has now been updated to add a redirect, so we
no longer need that symlink anyway. Remove it.

dc1ba281a5 docs/manual: makedevs only accepts numerical values
Because of a limitation in how makedevs resolves names [0], usernames
and groupnames would be resolved with UIDs and GIDs from the host, not
the target.

Fixing makedevs would involve us rewriting a /etc/passwd and /etc/group
parser (not too complex, still not trivial).

Document that the user and group fields should only be numbers, not
names. Also, the manual is currently misleading, as an example indeed
uses names for the user and group fields. Fix that and expand the
explanations.

The mode field should also be numbers, not a rwx combo.

Slight typographical eye-candy about major/minor fields.

[0] it uses getpwnma(3) and getgrnam(3) to resolve names to IDs, and
those only resolve names on the host (i.e. there is no way to specify
a chroot-like feature)

8d972df185 scripts/mkusers: allow users with no password value set
The following allows a user definition to specify that a created user
entry should not have a password value set. Original implementation
allowed a user definition to provide a password value of "=" (no quotes)
to generate a crypt-encoded empty string value. In some cases, it may be
desired to have no value specified for a user's password. By using a
value "-" for a password, no value will be set in the shadow value.

An example when this can be used is when logging into a terminal.
Logging into a session with an encoded empty password will prompt a user
to enter a password since it does not know the password is empty. If the
password field blank, a login session will not prompt for a password.

Disables -update-config and -update-defconfig targets when
fragment files are set.

9776b9cc70 doc/manual: fix generating manual after legacy overhaul
Commit 53903a15 (*config: improve handling of BR2_LEGACY) added an
option to entirely skip legacy entries, by passing a variable in the
environment.

However, it missed one location where that variable is also needed,
which is generating the list of packages and deprecated features for
inclusion in the manual.

Fix that by re-using the global $(COMMON_CONFIG_ENV) variable,
overriding just what we don't want (i.e. br2-external location and
defconfig path).

Also, slightly re-order variables so the ones we override come right
after the common settings, moving the specific ones at the end, one
variable per line.

1ba85b7f87 support/download: add explicit no-hash support
Add support to explicitly state that an archive has no hash.

This can be used for archives downloaded from a repository, like a
git-clone or a subversion checkout, or using the github helper.

This will come in handy when we'll eventually make hashes mandatory as
soon as a .hash file exists: for some packages, like gcc, some versions
are downloaded as archives from upstream, while other versions may come
from a GitHub repository (via the github herlper).

In this case, a .hash file would exist, that contains hashes for the
downloaded tarballs, but archives downloaded from the repository would
not have a hash (since it is currently not possible to have reproducible
such archives). So, we'd need a way to explicitly state there is no
hash, on purpose, for those archives.

So, add 'none' as a new type of hash.

46ebdc8959 docs/manual: update documentation about <pkg>_SOURCE, <pkg>_PATCH and <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS
This commit updates the Buildroot manual for the variables used to
indicate where to download the source code from:

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_SOURCE to make it clear that
   Buildroot assume that the tarball is hosted at <pkg>_SITE.

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_PATCH to indicate that not only
   file names (assumed to be hosted at <pkg>_SITE) can be used, but
   also full URLs. This allows to match with what the current code is
   doing.

 - It updates the description of <pkg>_EXTRA_DOWNLOADS to also
   indicate that full URLs are now accepted, following the change made
   in the previous commit.

665e13c85e Rename BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to BR2_STATIC_LIBS
Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.

As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.

This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.

Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

d79042bd0b doc/asciidoc: always apply Buildroot's AsciiDoc config
As suggested by Thomas: the AsciiDoc options we use ensure we get a sane
output of the document. We want that configuration to be applied to
other documents as well.

Up until now, it was implicit that the configuration was applied to
our manual, becasue we only supported document-specific configuration,
and the configuration we had was in our manual dir, so we got to use it.

But now, we can render other documents, especially ones from
br2-external, and we want those to also use the default configuration
from Buildroot, but still be able to provide their own customisation.

So, always add Buildroot's configuration first, if available, before we
append the document's configuration.

Ideally, this new file should better go in docs/ rather than in package/ .
However, docs/ is already full of our website stuff, so adding it in
there would just serve to clutter the website.

So, let's just put alongside the other infrastructures, in package/ .

d861876322 docs/manual: always look for resources in destination directory
Our manual does not use external filters in asciidoc, so we are happy
with just looking for resources from our source tree.

However, other documents (like ones in br2-external) may use such
filters, to generate diagrams, graphs...

External filters generate their output files in the output directory, so
we must also look for resources in there.

Note: external filters in asccidoc are used thus:
    ["filter-name"]
    ----
    Text to be rendered
    ----

In the future, our own manual may even make use of filters to include
some of the graphs we generate, to store in the documentation.

5b34e68369 docs/manual: allow documents to define some hooks, as for a package
Allow documents to define two hooks:
  - DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_HOOKS
    to check for extra dependencies required by this document
  - DOC_CHECK_EXTRA_DEPENDENCIES_FMT_HOOKS
    ditto, but for the specific format
  - DOC_POST_EXTRACT_HOOKS:
    to run additional actions to fill-in the build directory

(Replace 'DOC' with the uppercase name of the document, and 'FMT' with
the format.)

This is supposed to replace the current use of overloading the internal
dependency rules, and makes GENDOC behave yet a bit more like the
package infrastructure.

Note that GENDOC_INNER already has the uppercase name as an argument,
whereas GENDOC does not, so the two foreach loops are not exactly
similar (for now.)

995f9bf4d3 docs/manual: last pass at removing hard-coded path in GENDOC_INNER
GENDOC_INNER still has one hard-coded path to the document's directory:
the asciidoc .conf files.

Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to pass the directory of the
document.

Notes:

- this makes for overly-long lines, but splitting is not possible,
otherwise the first argument on the continuation line would get (at
least) a leading space or tab, and that would break either or all of
the variables names, the dependency rules, or the filenames we look
for. A future patch will further clean this up (see: docs/asciidoc: call
$(pkgname) and $(pkgdir) in a single place.)

- this means that another document would be missing our tweaks from
asciidoc-text.conf to not render images and sanely render hyperlinks.
But that was already the case anyway, since we were using docs/$(1)/ to
search for that file. A further patch will allow us to have such
configuration in a common place.

c7f9d2e878 docs/manual: do not hardcode name of the generated document
Currently, GENDOC_INNER hard-codes some variables to have the name of the
document in them:
    MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_CONF
    MANUAL_$(2)_ASCIIDOC_OPTS
    MANUAL_$(2)_A2X_OPTS
    MANUAL_$(2)_INSTALL_CMDS
    ...

Also, it defines some dependency on the generation rule, onto:
    manual-check-dependencies
    manual-check-dependencies-$(3)
    manual-prepare-sources

This is problematic, as it is not possible to have another document
generated with the GENDOC infra, or it would trigger the rules, and use
the variables for our own document, 'manual'.

Add a new argument to GENDOC_INNER to be the uppercase name of the
document, much like it is done for the PKG_*_INNER functions. Replace
any reference to 'manual' with the currently passed named of the current
document, $(1).

The remaining references to 'manual' are on purpose, as they really
pertain to our manual.

e9f44f0abb gendoc infra: disable pdf manual generation if xsltproc is buggy
The PDF manual generation reaches the default xsltproc's template
recursion limit when processing the target package list; this makes the
PDF manual generation fail [1-3].

This limit can be raised with the '--maxvars' option. Unfortunately,
this option is not correctly handled in the latest xsltproc/libxslt
release (1.1.28), but this bug is already fixed in the libxslt
repository [4].

This patch disables the PDF manual generation (makes it warn with a
meaningful error message) when the xsltproc program found in the PATH
does not support the --maxvars option.
So, one can still generate the PDF manual if he/she extends PATH with
the location of a working xsltproc, by running:

  $ PATH=/path/to/custom-xsltproc/bin:${PATH} make manual-pdf

7b118dfb4b gendoc infra: move manual build location into $(BUILD_DIR)/docs/manual
This patch reworks the manual source preparation by:
- moving the build directory under $(BUILD_DIR)/, this keeps consistency
  with the other Buildroot infrastructures;
- adding a couple of targets: 'manual-rsync' and 'manual-prepare-sources',
  to deal more efficiently with the manual sources and avoid rsync-ing
  them on every single manual-* target.

The 'manual-rsync' target only copies the manual sources under git, while
the 'manual-prepare-sources' also takes care of the generated ones. These
targets are now run only once,  and the manual build is no longer cleaned
after each manual format generation.

Now, the 'manual-clean' target only remove the manual build directory, but
keeps the output one $(O)/output/doc/manual unchanged.

Doing so (moving the manual build directory and keeping it between 2
manual format generation) ensures that all generated sources are taken
in account when generating the manual [1].

0518a98ac3 packages: rename FOO_MAKE_OPT into FOO_MAKE_OPTS
While the autotools infrastructure was using FOO_MAKE_OPT, generic packages
were typically using FOO_MAKE_OPTS. This inconsistency becomes a problem
when a new infrastructure is introduced that wants to make use of
FOO_MAKE_OPT(S), and can live alongside either generic-package or
autotools-package. The new infrastructure will have to choose between either
OPT or OPTS, and thus rule out transparent usage by respectively generic
packages or generic packages. An example of such an infrastructure is
kconfig-package, which provides kconfig-related make targets.

The OPTS variant is more logical, as there are typically multiple options.

This patch renames all occurrences of FOO_MAKE_OPT in FOO_MAKE_OPTS.

post-build scripts, multiple rootfs overlays, etc.

This patch reworks the section 'Step-by-step instructions for storing
configuration' as follows:
- rename into 'Quick guide to storing your project-specific customizations'
  and hence make it serve as a summary to the chapter
- change the introduction to make this clear
- update paths to line-up with section 'recommended directory structure'
- recommend BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR, as is done in the section on adding
  patches.
- mention how to add packages in a project-specific directory (to be
  expanded in another patch)
- minor rewording
- rename file into customize-quick-guide.txt

0c3e82f068 manual/user guide/customization: add section on project-specific packages
This patch adds a new section to chapter 'Project-specific customization' to
describe how to add project-specific packages from a project-specific
directory. The principle was already described in the presentation 'Using
Buildroot for real projects' but was never documented in official Buildroot
documentation.

a373ad0256 manual/user guide/customization: change recommendation for package paths
The Buildroot manual was recommending following paths for project-specific
packages:
    package/<company>/<boardname>/foo/
    $BR2_EXTERNAL/package/<boardname>/foo/

However, if a company has several boards, it is often the case that some
packages are common for different boards. Therefore, introducing a
<boardname> path component is not ideal.

This patch changes the recommendation to:
    package/<company>/foo/
    $BR2_EXTERNAL/package/foo/

32ef7396f7 manual/user guide/customization: re-order introduction
This patch re-orders the enumeration of typical project customization
actions:
- move the 'patching packages' section downwards.
- group the entries on post-build scripts and rootfs-overlays to match the
  actual section text.

Since indented enumerations use asterixes, update the top-level entries with
asterixes too for consistency.

75de9ac6f2 manual/user guide/customization: rework section on storing configuration
This patch promotes the sections on Buildroot configuration and the
configuration of other components to top-level sections, to match the
overview in the introduction of the chapter. The introduction of the
original section is removed as it does not bring additional info anymore.

Some rewording is done as well.

This patch moves the section 'Basics for storing the configuration' to a
separate file and upwards in the manual section order, to line up with the
listing of customization actions in the introduction of the chapter. The
text itself is currently unchanged, this will be handled in the next patch.
